FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight July 12, 2024

To nominate her replacement after those services, possibly friday or saturday. The president demanding Senate Republicans fill Justice Ginsburgs vacancy without delay. Moments ago President Trump appeared confident that his choice will be confirmed before election day. Well, id much rather have a vote before the election because theres a lot of work to be done, and id much rather have it we have plenty of time to do it. I mean, theres really a lot of time. So lets sea i make the announcement say i make the announcement on saturday, theres a great deal of time before the election. Thatll be up to mitch and the senate, but id certainly much rather have the vote. I think it sends a good signal, and its solidarity and lots of other things, and im just doing my constitutional obligation. I have an obligation to do this. Lou and there is plenty of precedent for a swift confirmation. If President Trump were to send his nomination to the senate by this weekend, he would have 38 days before election day in which to have his choice confirmed. Justice John Paul Stevens was confirmed in only 19 days back in 1975. In 2005 john roberts was confirmed as chief justice in 24 days. In 81 Sandra Day Oconnor was confirmed in 33 days. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is standing firmly behind President Trump. The senator says hes moving the nomination forward as soon as the president makes his decision. For details on the president s choices, we turn to fox news correspondent david spunt in washington. Reporter lou, if the president has his way, the fifth woman to sit on the Supreme Court will be installed in the coming months. Our sources at the white house are telling us to specifically watch three names. One, judge Amy Coney Barrett with the 7th Circuit Court of appeals based in chicago, but she lives in south bend, indiana. Shes a devout catholic and mother of seven children. She was nominated to the Appeals Court in 2017 by President Trump and a year later he personally interviewed her for a position on the Supreme Court. He ultimately went with brett kavanaugh. Shes a known conservative and said to be a favorite for this spot. Judge allison rushing with the 4th Circuit Court of appeals, what makes her stand out is her age, shes 38 years old. The president said today she could potentially serve 40, even 50 years, into her 80s. Another name on the short list were hearing about, judge Barbara Lagoa with the 11th Circuit Court of appeals in atlanta. A favorite of conservatives, she once sat on the florida Supreme Court. She is the daughter of cuban immigrants who fled the oppressive castro regime. In 2006 governor jeb bush first appointed her to state courts. As for the timing of the nomination, President Trump said it would likely be friday or saturday after the public has a chance to say goodbye to Justice Ginsburg. Shell lie in repose here at the Supreme Court for two days, and on friday she will lie in state inside the u. S. Capitol. Lou . Lou david, thank you very much. David spunt reporting. Thank you. President trump is in a key battleground state of ohio today where he will hold a rally later this evening where it is almost certain he will bring up the issue of the next Supreme Court justice. But as he considers his decision, rinos, radical dems and the leftwing National Media are doing everything they can, it appears, to conjure up some way to stop him. So far to no avail. Rino senator Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski i say the next nominee should only be named by the winner of the november president ial election. There is no, absolutely no historic precedent for the senators position on that. And senators mitt romney, cory gardner and Chuck Grassley say they remain undecided. Senator ted cruz, who is on President Trumps list for the Supreme Court, has a warning for all of those wayward rinos and those without an appreciation for precedent and history. Here is senator cruz on why there needs to be a full court before election day. I just wrote a book thats coming out in a couple of weeks called one vote away how a single Supreme Court vote can change history, and one of the chapters talks about bush v. Gore, the epic battle, and for 36 days the country was held in chaos. Well, if joe biden does that again this year and we have an 88 court, an equallydivided court, 44, cant deciding anything. That could make this president ial election drag on weeks and months and well into next year. That is an intolerable situation for the country. We need a full court on election day given the very high likelihood that were going to see litigation that goes to the court. We need a Supreme Court that can give a definitive answer for the country. Lou the radical dems, however, are colluding with the leftwing National Media, as they are wont to do, trying to stop the president s nomination. Just listen to this exchange between Abcs George Stephanopoulos and House Speaker nancy pelosi. Some have mentioned the possibility if they try to push through a mom knew e in a lame duck session that you and the house could move to impeach President Trump or attorney general barr as a way of stalling and preventing the senate from acting on this nomination. Well, we have our options. We have arrows in our quiver that im not about to disright now to discuss right now. Lou arrows in her quiver. The left is so enraged that president President Trump will have the opportunity to choose another Supreme Court justice that they are plotting to pack the Supreme Court, they say, with more justices if they were to win back the senate in november. This is the same Political Party that had no problem with a lame duck president obama choosing Merrick Garland back in 2016 to replace the late conservative justice antonin scalia. Justice ginsburg herself then said this theres nothing in the constitution that says the president stops being the president in his last year. She was absolutely correct. And the Republican Party put out this video today of what other luminaries on the left were saying at that very time. The American People deserve a fullystaffed court of nine. The president nominates, and then the Senate Advises and consents or not, but they go forward with the process. What were seeing here, and hope this is temporary, is a disrespect for the constitution. The constitution is 100 clear, the president of the United States has the right to nominate someone to be a justice on the Supreme Court. Senates function is to hold hearings and to vote. The blockade on filling a naturallyoccurring vacancy, in my view, is harmful to the independence of the article iii branch. You cannot keep a seat on the Supreme Court which represents all of us, you cannot keep it vacant against the constitution. Pretty much everything they can to avoid acknowledging the legitimacy of our democraticallyelected president. The American People expect the president s nominee to be given a fair hearing and a timely vote in the senate. Lou loft i think, lofty words that the radical dems seem to have forgotten they uttered at one time. The radical dems would do well to listen to all of those comments back in 2016. Their current stance is one that is against the will of the American People, without precedent and according to a Marquette Law School poll, 60 say they should hold hearings for the Supreme Court nominee, and a majority of democrats, republicans and independents agree. As the American People allege orerly await the president s nomination of the next justice, President Trump is touting a deal reached between oracle, walmart and the owners of the popular chinese video app tiktok. President trump has characterized the deal as a one for one as a win for the United States by making tiktok a Company Owned and controlled by americans. This despite the fact that chinese investors and companies will still hold a large percentage of shares, and they will also be sitting on a board with americans. In fact, the ceo of walmart will now be on that board as well of the Company Called tiktok global. Itll be based in austin, texas. Oracle will have the largest stake, 12. 5 of the company. Walmart agreeing to a tentative 7. 5 stake, and some of this is still under negotiation, but it appears to be a full win for President Trump. Up next, the justice departments latest move to defund lawless democratrun cities. Its working. House minority leader ken mccarthy with us Kevin Mccarthy with us in just a few moments.

Lou well, breaking news now, a San Francisco magistrate federal judge blocked President Trumps ban on the chineseowned messaging app wechat, ruling the ban would violate, in her opinion, the First Amendment rights of users. Judge Laurel Beeler apparently thinks that national security, which is, of course, the province of the president of the United States, can be diluted by implying that somehow First Amendment rights of users of apps is pararah mount to paramount to national security. Thats what you get in a corrupt federal bureaucracy and judiciary. Also breaking tonight, acting Senate Intel Committee chairman marco rubio now says every Intelligence Agency warned the fbi not to rely on that fraudulent steele dossier. Senator rubio has been on the Senate Intelligence committee since 2011. The question is, why is he only now realizing the fbi relied on that dossier, and what does he plan to do about it, and why didnt he do more about it before is . He is now the acting chairman. The department of justice labeling new york city, portland, oregon, and seattle, washington, as anarchist jurisdictions. President trump plans to withdraw federal money from those democratrun cities where their failure to control radical left anarchists and for their attempts to defund their police departments. Well, joining us tonight, Republican House minority leader Kevin Mccarthy. Congressman, great to have you with us, and i would like to start first with what you think of the president s decision to move forward as early as friday to nominate his choice to replace Justice Ginsburg. Its the right decision. Its what the constitution says. And why this president can move forward and should move forward, one, the constitution. But this president is prepared. As youve watched, this president even before he became president , he told the American Public who he would look at to nominate for the Supreme Court. Even recently he expanded that list further. Hes letting the American Public know ahead of time. Joe biden has done none of this. But you played a very good tape earlier about all those democrats, the one thing we do ise our hand to swear to is the constitution, and this president s following through on exactly what he pledged he would do, uphold the constitution, and pledged that he would do for the American Public, let you know way in advance who hes looking at, and im looking forward to his nomination this week. Lou what do you make, speaking of the constitution, of the threats by the democrats . They are threatening anarchy, street violence, riots if they dont win the election, if this president proceeds to do what is, as he pointed out, his constitutional obligations which is to name a successor to the late Justice Ginsburg and wins confirmation for her replacement and does so before election day . What is going on with the Democrat Party . This is theyre acting like agents of insurrection. Its no longer the Democratic Party. This is something we talked about in the commitment to america. The democrats want to dismantle this nation. They have wasted their majority in the house by trying to impeach the president just because they did not like the outcome of the election. Now theyre saying if the president upholds his constitutional right, ail follows what the constitution tells him he must do, the exact words they said just a year or so before, they now want to talk about impeaching him, riots in the street. What will happen here, and this is why we need this president reelected not just what a fabulous job he has done for our economy and others, but what were finding now is they just wan
